Chris,

I know that each engine/installation is unique, I usually don't have to
prime even once when cold (summertime), and never when hot (doesn't need the
extra help igniting the fuel mixture).  However, I always go rich on the
mixture knob (full rich for a cold start, 2-3 o'clock position for a warm
start).  It always starts within a few seconds of cranking. I would try
priming less when hot and see what happens.  Also, I would check your idle
mixture settings.  If it takes that much priming, it sounds like it may
tuned be a bit on the lean side.
My take on your static rpm question is that OAT may be the cause of the
variations.  Sounds like you've got enough to get off the ground.  Have you
done any fast taxi runs?  You've got plenty of runway.

Mark
